Banksia Rose vs Bougainvillea

Posted by nemo (My Page) on Sun, Jun 4, 06 at 16:01
When I bought my home,these two were side by side in the back yard cascading over a trellis.The banksia is holding its own and manages to co-habit and intertwine ok. It also visits the near by apricot tree, my garden has a rural rambling hotch-potch theme, so it looks quite nice.
My question is,I want to give the rose every opportunity to thrive and flower beautifully, can you please advise me,on watering,fertilizing,pruning etc.

RE: Banksia Rose vs Bougainvillea

I have 2 Banksia roses - the white and the yellow. I don't do anything special. Just water from ground level once a week when needed and throw a bit of rose food on them a couple of times a year. They definitely do not get the same treatment as my other roses and they thrive. The only gripe I have with them is they only flower for a few weeks a year, but the arch is always green and they are very easy to keep looking tidy.
Regards
